WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO
We offer a number of ways for our children to be together, build community and grow in their faith.
One opportunity is through our 9:00 Sunday School program. In each one of the classes we strive to offer experiences that are developmentally appropriate for each age group. Children spend lots of time in hands on activities. We create a space for them with the hope that they will make a connection with God and feel loved and accepted. Children travel with the same two teachers for the whole year. This helps the children develop strong and healthy relationships with adults from our congregation. With parents and children coming regularly to the 9:00 hour (parents enjoying Adult Spiritual Formation programming and/or time connecting with other parents or church folk), friendships are being built, support and care is being given and received, and faith is being deepened. Having Sunday School at 9:00 allows everyone the opportunity to be able to worship at 10:00 and move into that time of worship feeling more prepared and hopefully more attuned to God’s Spirit.
